Regarding a possible Neighborhood Watch program, the past 2 eBlast discussions generated just 8 interested responses (8/76). Because the concept is of interest for all South Bay Villages, we’re now looking into involving the co-joined ‘overlaying’ involvement with the existing ‘block captain’ program and the existing ‘emergency preparedness’ program. Foundation clarity has to be established first … and then sustained … before a comprehensive crime prevention program is implemented. Eventually, if sustainable and on-going, it’s going to involve the village community at large, not just a couple of short-term volunteers, i.e., key word ‘involved’.
SBCA set up a village Presidents meeting this past week. Invited were all of the South Bay villages to attend. Crime prevention was a key topic and there is a universal concern. Implementation and participation have to be addressed on a sustainable basis. If we can do it at Timberton we can export a viable and continuing concept.
Near term for Timberton will be attendance at board meetings where village interests are presented and discussed. Our next Board meeting is March 27. Please note that 3 board member terms are coming to an end. Carry over terms for one more year are Chuck and Roger. We’d appreciate that a strong interest toward becoming a board member – term 2 years – is of interest. Alternative 3rd party involvement is both expensive and remote. Elections to be posted June. Inquiries and interest are welcome.
The TVHA annual meeting is scheduled for June 26, 2023, at 5:30. The status of a “Social” following the meeting has not been resolved. It has been suggested that if a resident or group of residents wish to organize such an event the Board will support the effort. A reasonable amount of funds will be available for amenities, but the program needs a proactive leader to get it established.
